Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief of groundworks associated with the residential conversion of Nevill Holt Hall, Nevill Holt, Leicestershire, was carried out by ULAS over the course of a 12 month period between August 2002-2003. Groundworks undertaken within the former Dairy block (Room 11) revealed the remains of a mortar surface, which was removed to reveal a number of stakeholes and post-holes, which may be interpreted as evidence of earlier structures existing beneath the present building. Gravel stripping undertaken in the vicinity of the present driveway, to the south of the Great Hall, revealed a series of cobbled surfaces that appear to correspond with the main Courtyard that appears on the 1661 plan of Nevill Holt. A substantial segment of sandstone walling revealed in a drainage trench located to the southwest of the Hall may represent the remains of a structure associated with the 'Blew-Gates', also noted on the plan of 1661, whilst a second wall revealed in a trench to the north of the Cloisters may relate to the Orchard boundary recorded at this time. Brick and stonework foundations recorded within gardens to the rear of the Kitchen, may represent the remains of recently demolished, late 19th century greenhouses. The site archive, consisting of site notes, records, colour slides and finds will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council Heritage Services under the Accession Number XA132.2002.
